City & Guilds 3667-02 Units 102/103: Fibre Optic Internal and External

This 5 day City & Guilds 3667-02 Units 102/103 course provides delegates with both the practical skills and the underpinning knowledge needed to work with fibre optic cabling safely.

You’ll learn basic installation practices: connecting fibre optic, splicing fibre optic cables, external enclosures and the practical skills required to terminate and test fibre optic cabling. Perfect if you are looking to add to your skill set by learning how to install fibre.

The course also teaches you about the components, equipment and working practices that are typical for both internal and external fibre optic installations.
